I did a bit of searching to see if this had been done here recently, and didn’t turn up anything. Apologies if so.
Let’s play the Wikipedia Game, SDMB Edition!
I’m sure most of you have already played this, but here are the rules I’m suggesting.
The goal is to link two seemingly unrelated wikipedia articles by following in-text links only. The first person to find and document their link trail from one to the other gets to define the topics for the next round.
So, starting with the Britney Spears article, I have to try to get to Category 5 Cables by following only in-text hyperlinks to other Wikipedia articles. At no point should I ever type anything in, click on any external links, etc. Every link clicked has to go to another Wikipedia article, and they can’t come from anywhere except the main body of the text (no portal links, footnotes, tables, image captions, disambiguation, etc). I then have to document each step here to show you how I got from one to the other.
…and I’m done! I think it would be fun to start the next point from where we stopped, but I’ll leave it up to each winner to decide whether they want to only define the new end-point, or to define both end and start points.
Bonus points if you don’t have to go through a field of study or philosophy!
So, without further ado, let’s get started with the two following subjects:
That was kind of tricky because meteorology and weather mentioned wind, but nobody bothered to put links. I presume it’s cheating to edit the page to add links?
Took me a while but I got it!!! Lots of links though…
Bastille Day -> France -> Mont Blanc -> Hiking -> Natural Environment -> Rock (geology) -> Mining -> Limestone -> Cave -> Stalactite
I’m sure someone could do better than that… that’s a lot of links.
